The red and gold is a striking color combo. I like it, congrats.
+1 on changing the emblem to match.

My autokit grille didn't fit right on.
the first time i put it on it didn't fit as well, had to work with it a bit but now it's pretty close to perfect. what spots did you have issues with?

more neg. camber is my next move. I actually like the chrome, since I have chrome exhaust tips. chrome headlight bezels, and big shiny brakes I think it still goes with the car. Gold emblems are a bit much for me and if I ever got another set of wheels it wouldn't match anymore.


Thanks for all the comments people

camber and stretched tires would help the rubbing alot also maybe a lower profile for the tire.

i think gold emblems would look kinda tacky

Driver side corners. I tried many times, and I got all tired of dealing with cheap quality.

Grill looks pretty good; I like that it's painted to match the car. If you're gonna keep the gold wheels, I agree to go a different color on the badging. I think it needs something in the middle of that big open space, but Gold might be a little too Pimp on badging (unless you're going for that). Red would be okay but black to match the grill might be cool and subtle.

I agree about the "open space", I thought the emblem I ordered would be big enough but it doesn't fill the space as much as I'd hoped. The other one I found was 8 x 4.5 (vs 5x2.5)which I thought might be too big. Maybe I'll order it and see.

Also thought about putting the "S K Y L I N E" across the grille opening but then I'd have to remove the rear emblem and do the same.

That might work, kinda "Essense" like...still might look odd if you leave it chrome though.

mmm, not sure, shouldn't be hard to photoshop though.
